Chapter 9-Page-25-Just Do It
Oct11
So, that happened. Kat is handed the championship and Gabrielle screams at Sabrina. This isn’t over yet by a long shot. That being said, what happens next for everyone involved?
Voting Incentive!
Things are about to escalate. Vote to see what’s coming up next!
Drama. We gots it!
Girls.
We needs Drama to live.
NEEDS IT!
I think we need to change the title to as the Rival Angels Turn.
One Life To Rival Angels.
Where Rival Angels Fear to Tread.
Kat’s TV Champion?
Sigh, well there go my hopes for Kat vs. Brooke.
Do you think Miss Kat will take the title or take the high road and toss it?
Very good question.
Why would Kat vs Brooke hinge on Kat not being the champ?
Xtina is No. 1 contender, Krystin is probably next in line after her, Brooke just had her opportunity and I don’t see her getting another anytime soon. For me, the only way the match can happen now was if Sabrina walked away with the title or if Kat drops it now.
I just don’t want it to end up like the Kane/Ryder situation where Kane spends weeks tormenting him and then they have a random pre-ppv match months later after everyone has forgotten.
Brooke and Hell’s Belles are not finished by a long shot.
why?
is Gabrielle don’t have confidence on Sabrina for doing that?
just WOW!!
Samantha..
go kick Gabrielle’s face..
that’s make Gabrielle a heel..
coz I remember Gabrielle is always with Chloe, and Yvonne.. for business..
The question is why is Gabrielle with Brenda also?
Sure and let Sabrina lose her job in the process. Honestly, this would just make things go from bad to worse. 🙁
She may sound tough but to fire Sabrina would be Baaaad for business. Right now she can deny involvement with the fix but if she fires Sabrina word gets out then she loses her credibility. Next thing you know Sting and the Hulk show up to take over.
What if Kat won’t take the belt?
what’s Marina roles?
assistant to the assistant…
Brenda must do something..
since she is the locker room leader…
Then the Ref gets the belt.
To make sure the right person gets the belt, she failed.
Brenda is having her toes done right now.
Brenda’s role as locker room leader will be more apparent soon. I want to get into that more.
Kat not taking the belt would certainly take some heat off of Sabrina and show the she has the same amount of integrity that Sabrina has.
Love this! Kat doesn´t deserve to be boooood now ;-).
Gabrielle … :D. Looks like Sabrina isn´t her puppet anymore :D!
Nope she doesn’t but she will if she takes the belt.
It would definitely look like their friendly relationship is on-hold, at the least.
What’s good for business? LoL
Seriously though I didn’t see this with Gabs coming at all.
But I do expect Kat to take the belt.
Hmmm…
Maybe Gabs just needs reminding that this screw up is on her head, and that maybe she should learn to keep Michael on a tighter leash. Or just not keep him at all.
…
*Push Brenda at Gabby*
Oh! Hey now!
Okay, was willing to give the benefit of the doubt as people said that there was no evidence that Gabby knew anything about what Marina was supposed to tell Sabrina. But apparently she did. And she’s revealed as a short-sighted control freak who will fire someone for being in a situation that was clearly NOT HER FAULT and not being willing to do something that is, frankly, both unethical and just plain stupid. Well, frick. I preferred her as a more nuanced ‘grey’ character rather than someone who makes idiotic off the cuff decisions and then gets pissy when people don’t act on those idiotic off the cuff decisions. This is disappointing to me as a reader… definitely not liking the direction this is taking.
Awe she’s just mad that her main event was a train wreck. She’ll get over it when she sees how many Ultra girl shirts people buy on the way out. Speaking of which, where do I buy one of those?
I know maybe they need to redo the fight as a tag team, Miss Kat and Sabrina vs Vince and Gab…..
I think Gabrielle does use the ‘F’ word on Wednesday.
That would be funny ;-).
My reply is for The Snow Kitten ;-).
Well, that all went pear-shaped.
No. It’s worse than that. It’s Banana shaped.
I was thinking is was more like a box of breakfast food, Fruit Loops.
Speakin’ a pear-shaped… I look weird at that angle. Maybe Mo Chen should switch to her two-piece gear with the neon blue piping so it will make my chest look better… show a little tummy.
Slimmer in the VI.
Not too slim I hope… (*poses and perks up her chest*)
Ooooooo *grins
What the… Marina was speaking the truth ?!? 🙁
The boss is angry ?!?
Whatever happen to words like “good sportsmanship” and “fair play” and even an “even match ?” 🙁
Honestly, I thought Gabby would approve of Sabrina’s actions not get angry by them. I mean didn’t she argue against this whole idea in the first place ? 🙁
Seriously, this DOES NOT MAKE THE BOSS LOOK GOOD TOWARDS ANYONE. And if she’s acting like this towards Sabrina, then maybe it’s either time for a new career change or someone with a little heart to step in. 🙁
Well, she was speaking the truth that Gabrielle wanted to put the belt on Sabrina and get on from this debacle so she could build towards Sabrina vs Krystin. Whether or not the threat of firing was from Gabrielle or not remains to be seen.
Believe it or not, I’m actually a big fan of good sportsmanship and fair play. People who buy into that bollocks are much easier to take advantage of!
And that ‘tude has got you everything. Well that and your pimp errr.. I mean manager. yeah that’s it.
Maybe they are thinking all if fair in love and war and now this is going to be real war.
Being snagged by the scruff of the neck is never fun.
*shake head*
OH! And Gabby make me so angry! I would be shakin’ mah Fist o’ (not overly fearsome) Fury, but I think I might be about to have my hands full…
DOUBLE OH!! I is SO PROUD of my ‘Brina Girl, imma totally reserving a hugs for later.
*nod*
*****
Baby ‘Brina Watch!
Well, the time had come to my little Sabrina-Ripley to meet her cousin, Baby ‘Becca, to whom I have been spoiling rotten in the past and being the world greatest Aunt to *nod*
Unfortunately, as Baby ‘Becca was brought in doors and spotted a baby in my arms and being coddled that wasn’t…*shock*…her, my Niece started crying!! I had to cradle them both until she calmed down.
Ms. Mittens also decided it was time to nap on my lap.
*sigh*
Tell me about it, Brenda is always going after my neck because she thinks I’m a bad Kitten.
And I keep a spritzer loaded at all times!
Sabrina-Ripley vs Baby Becca. Book it now. XD
Yes, you’re hands are going to be full, at least according to the Voting Incentive. You think Xtina could lend a hand?!
I see the Smurfs kicking a lot of… ummm.. .well, shin!
Shin kicking is an art you know.
Voting incentives..
looking at Xtina..
she’s up to something…
hmmmm??
She DOES seem up to something, eh?
I just lost any respect i had for Gabrielle…
So, Sabrina takes the high-road, gets fired from RA, and then ends up as the Rookie that had great potential as the sassy bartender/owner that her friends and former wrestlers come to visit. The bar will be called 3-Count and there will be an announcer that announces your name as you walk in, with your own intro music. 🙂
I’m SO there! Everyone knows my name and a seat of my own in the corner.
Rua: “Hey everybody!”
Everyone: “Champ!”
Well, you just ruined the surprise. XD
Oh yeah, in case anyone missed it, Panel 4 has a cameo of Sammie and Dyna! More where that came from too. XD
Is nice to see us bossman. Are we prepping for a match? Would be great to tag with Sammie or even have a good.
Want to see..
Samantha, Mo Chen VS Marina/ Loretta
Loretta already has a tag team partner, though they just lost to the Catgirls.
Dyna and Sammie, together or apart are pretty cool. I forgot to put a ‘JBL was right’ T-shirt on Dyna. XD
Imma pretty sure we’re up to something terribly important!
*nod*
And would tag teaming be fair to the rest of the locker room? Imma not sure they could handle the awesome.
*ponders*
You two would be a great tag team! Your skills complement each others nicely. Mo’s got power and technique. You’ve got speed and sneaky. And mean. Hey, you wouldn’t be a catgirl in disguise, would ya?
Can definitely see Sammie and Mo Chen hitting double moves.
Technically Sabby did leave the ring, so doesn’t that mean she is disqualified by default?
I think you’re thinking of a ‘count-out’ but by this match has been over for a while. Only one person left standing to take the belt.
She’s only allowed to keep it if she hits Vince with it.
This should be LAW.
The world would be MUCH more fun if I was allowed to make LAWS.
That’s just what I thought she’d do. Sabrina acts true to character, and her popularity is such that I think Gabby will give her a tonguelashing and maybe a fine, but not dump her.
Glad you liked. 🙂
As for Gabby and Sabrina’s relationship, I have been hinting at ‘the meatgrinder’ for the Upstarts. Brooke and Krystin are starting theirs. Maybe this is Sabrina’s?
But if Gabriella doesn’t take action she looks weak, she doesn’t want people to start thinking that Sabrina is immune to punishment.
This is an EXCELLENT point.
But if Gabriella OVER-reacts, she looks like a petty tyrant (and she looks like one in that last panel, IMO). Yeah, she needs to do something, show that Sabrina isn’t immune to her dictates… but let it be in proportion to what Sabrina actually did. Otherwise we’re looking at a repeat of the ‘what’s best for business’ storyline going on in WWE now. Which SUCKS.
Thing is, even if Marina’s mad, Sabrina is her meal ticket now and she’s going to think three times before dropping her. Maybe send her to dark match hell, but still…
Very good point. Sabrina’s been the favorite for a while now so she hasn’t as much political crap dumped on her yet. Gabby just threw her in with the sharks for ratings. Now that she can swim, the water’s gonna’ get deeper.
sabby’s been punished all over the place. About the only thing left would be firing her.
i like Michael in the corner acting shocked/surprised that his “brilliant” plan has spontaneously combusted. and gabby knows her way in battle too- look how Brina’s is stunned into helpless deer-in-the-headlights expression as gabby seizes her in the “standard female grab area” known throughout film and television into rendering any female into helplessness no matter what combat skills she may possess 🙂
Hey, nobody is more surprised at this than Michael.
Gabrielle is well schooled in handling herself and others. Wait til you see her with her ex-husband! And that move you described…most crippling move EVAR.
almost as devastating as “the schoolboy rollup”
Another gem, but should we call it ‘schoolGIRL rollup? XD
Nice. I like that ending. Good job.
Thanks, man! I hope you enjoy what’s coming up next. 🙂
Oh damn. The stuff hit the fan and now they’re mad at Brina for ducking. And just listen to that crowd. Ultra-Girl merchandise sales are going to go through the roof!
That Ultra Kick heard ’round the RA world would be a great T-shirt alone.
Professionally it’s not good for Sabrina, but the fans love her even more.
The VI looks great boss. The fur it be flying!
Instead of ducking, you and Sammie are going INTO it. XD
I see that. Hope getting physical with the boss lady there don’ ruin my new contract.
Panel 1: Marina is shocked 😀
Panel 3: It´s clear that Marina isn´t happy.
Panel 4: Love it that Sabrina is stubborn (have never been a fan of G :p). Funny to see that G is angry: she looks pretty now LOL. Also funny to see Michael (remember his words “It will be great, trust me (G) ha ha).
Panel 5: Yep, Marina doesn´t want to do this. Kat is surprised :).
Question: has Gabrielle been a wrestler :)? Will Sabrina execute a ultra-kick? (I don´t think so, but… would love that :D). What will Gabrielle do with her right fist?
These songs are for Chloe (miss her :D). French songs from Flanders (Belgium) http://youtu.be/fnmW6OMNwiE http://youtu.be/wmNQPP4QJBc
Gabrielle has never been a pro wrestler and an Ultrakick would lay just about anyone out.
Thought so, ha ha. Thanks for answering the question :).
Sabrina Mancini vs. Katherine Smith for the Interim Rival Angels Television Championship–Remember that dumpster Chloe used to inconvenience Sabrina before their main event match? Well, that’s on fire.
So let me get this straight: Dixie Carter, instead of just playing it safe and scheduling a normal match (the bane of Vince Russo) between Kat and The Chosen One, decides to take the advice of Michael, who thought reading “The Vince Russo Guide to Writing a Wrestling Show” was a good idea.
But since Michael has beef with Sabrina, he decided to bring in someone else who will soon have beef with Sabrina: Vincent. And how do you incorporate a man who saw his “girlfriend” get beat down by three other women while being the one who started it in the first place? Give him a referee shirt and let him loose in the ring to resolve his issues on his own.
And now the stage is set not to have a wrestling match, but a dumpster fire. Only the staunchest of Ultramaniacs would think anything good came out of this. Anyone who skipped out after Wong/Carpenter made the smart choice.
Sabrina could have made the smart choice when Marina came down and demanded Sabrina put us all out of our misery, take the belt, and everything would have gone back to normal. Sabrina’s response?
“Let’s throw some gasoline in this fire!”
That’s why they call her Ultraderp. So what’s the situation after all this?
*The Television Championship is a joke, even if it is interim.
*The Rival Angels main event is now a joke instead of just dire and boring.
*The Rival Angels World Championship is the Clifford Baines of this organization at a time when it is needed the most.
*Oh noes! Ultrabrat has beef with everybody! Whatever shall she do? I hope she can overcome the odds!–some Ultramaniac
And once again, the focus shifts not on any other wrestler in Rival Angels, but Sabrina, who can’t even wrestle. Of course.
It’s completely incomprehensible to me that anyone is upset at Sabrina for handling the situation this way. I’m hoping to see an explanation as to why Marina thought that the best solution to this awful mess would involve destroying the integrity of the whole thing, and why Gabby would support such a course of action.
We had a former employee attacking a current employee – for an understandable reason, sure, but still unacceptable – and trying to force his way back into a relationship with someone he shouldn’t have been dating in the first place, and in the process raising questions about the status of the already-shaky interim TV Championship. Putting a stop to the whole thing and walking away was the best possible solution, and if Gabby doesn’t agree, she doesn’t deserve her position.
Of course, Michael’s continued employment already calls that into question…
*signed* You have stated my frustrations with the present situation far more eloquently than I have. It seems like just about everyone in a position of authority has been drinking the same Kool-aid that Michael is constantly swilling. You know, the one with the extra idiot flavor.
Marina is following Gabrielle’s orders. Gabrielle is upset that Sabrina didn’t listen to Marina and by proxy, her. Obviously, more on this to unfold.
Looks like Gabrielle is showing her http://youtu.be/9sH-s25q_Do ;-).
Things will not be looking good for Sabrina. What will happen if she did get fired? Will she ever return if she did? Guess she go back to wrestle in Japan. Wanted to see title belt on Sabrina but it be very long til she ever win a title.
One last thing: I wouldn’t be surprised if Kat refuses the belt. She didn’t get it by defeating Sabrina, and I have a feeling she won’t take it unless she beats our heroine in a fair fight. So much for that.
Do I get credit for all the crowd reax? Huh? Do I?
I’m curious what other folk think. Does it improve the feel of it being ‘live’? I know I like it. Can get the feeling on the place shaking with the cheering of their confirmed baby face.
